Osama bin Laden Was a Warmist

We all knew that Osama bin Laden was a maniacal lunatic, but now we learn that not all of his delusions were related to murdering the innocent on behalf of the Religion of Peace:

Osama bin Laden wrote a letter calling on the American people to help President Barack Obama fight “catastrophic” climate change and “save humanity”, in the latest evidence of his worries about environmental issues, newly released documents show.

The letter was among materials that were seized in the May 2, 2011, U.S. raid on bin Laden’s hideout in Pakistan that killed the al Qaeda chief and which were released on Tuesday by the Obama administration.

Apparently the letter was written in early 2009, before the bloom was off the rose of Hope & Change.

Bin Laden’s preoccupation with climate change also emerged as a theme in the first tranche of documents from the raid that was declassified in May 2015, as well as in an audio recording released via the al Jazeera network in January 2010.

He wanted an aide to launch a media campaign on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 that would include a call for cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
